It has been pretty clear that Blizzard intends to buff every single class except warrior. They fear so much that by buffing warriors and making them actually playable that they will become too powerful in ICC. This might be the case, theres only one problem. Warrior players arent going to make it to ICC. With all the other buffs to the other classes its likely that warriors arent even going to be good. Paladins, mages, rogues, and druids will likely out scale warriors in ICC and this entire expansion will have been a waste for warrior players. Im at the point where I just want to cancel my 4 WoW subs and save myself the time, money, and heartache. Luckily though the Druid community can just cry their way to the top DPS. Warriors will just have to figure out ways with fiery enchants and level 60 gauntlets again.
at this point why give shadowmourne to a warrior when rets are just as good and more desireable?
Serious question - and don’t bring up “Warriors are simming just fine in ICC gear”
Warrior sims don’t work, they assume 100% uptime on slam procs, nobody will ever be anywhere near their sim as a warrior. The sims are supposed to show your maxend damage.
So what then is the solution? Everyone knows how Warriors turned out because we have had many expansions and patches that have tested out all those waters already.
They typically benefit the most from everything including Gear, raid buffs, professions, consumables and RNG…
So we are like the mushrooms of WoW… kinda plain by ourselves but we taste delicious when combined with everything…
Right now currently we are not as represented because everyone wants to be the BiS… But what gives us our edge is our ability to absorb the elements of everything and get the most from them.
Honestly, Blizzard should just nerf warrior. All these posts crying about fury not being top DPS. You’re not in a top 1% speed running guild so it doesn’t even matter. You can easily do all current content with multiple warriors per raid.
Poor warriors. If they didn’t get shadowmourne it would be a whole 1 expansion where they weren’t getting legendaries
That’s my favorite part about all this nerf/buff spam on the forums.
So many people seem to think their parses are because someone got buffed and they didn’t. Have a couple in my guild that think that way. “I’D BE PARSING GOOD BUT MY CLASS/SPEC SUCKS!”… no, with a buff you’d be doing 22s instead of 12s.
Very easy to say as a rogue with whom glaives were stronger on that warriors.
Warriors got thunderfury because it was a raid buff, your tank doing more threat especially AoE is a buff to the raid. Who else are you gonna give thunderfury to? LOL
Most rogues got glaives over warriors because they had a competitive advantage on them
lastly - why are you mad about previous expansions? We are in wotlk, get with the program. Youre like a top dps as both of your specs and do insane magic damage as assa.
Why are you mad again?
You have no idea what guild im in
I mean yeah you’re posting from an alt, people are gonna assume the worst and it comes with the territory ya know?
I saw just as many warriors with glaives as rogues.
No they weren’t. Both discords said any variance was small enough that you should 100% give it to the player over the class. Never once saw any math showing it was significant for one over the other.
I just like laughing at warriors pretending they’re having it tough. There’s a reason you aren’t finding any sympathy from the rest.
Because both gained equally from them
okay what is your point then?
You’re mad you didnt get glaives so you are carrying over that pettiness to a whole 'nother expansion?
I don’t get it
Reminder: I’m not the warrior who took the glaives from you
I have glaives.
I think the point i was making was mocking a warrior who thinks then them not getting a legendary will net them sympathy as if they haven’t had access to them every single step of the way.
I was laughing at the comment because it was pathetic. That’s all
I have 0 legendaries
my point was why give it to a warrior when a ret would do just as well with it, plus ret utility they bring is vastly superior and valueable than a warrior.
I don’t want anyone’s sympathy, i was posing a valid question.
Stay mad
Why give the healer legendary to a disc priest when it benefits a hpal more?
These are the questions asked with every single legendary. Cost/benefit analysis. It’s just the first time warriors may end up on the butt end. Honestly if they all go to rets it would be pretty cool since rets were irrelevant memes the last time a 2H legendary came out. Maybe ret or DKs deserve it more
Buff the low preforming specs. Then Buff the new low performing specs. Then Buff the new low performing specs. Then Buff the new low performing specs. Then Buff the new low performing specs. Then Buff the new low performing specs.
Continue that loop until everybody does identically 100,000 dps sharp. Then don’t touch anything cuz now everybody is happy and we have a fun game…
Buff warriors in vanilla they do not do enough damage.
So serious answer to your “Serious” question is that even if Ret’s are doing more DPS in ICC, Fury will get much more out of SM. Ret scales very poorly and Warrior Scales very, very well. Especially from weapons.
Didn’t they recently mention they were looking into deep wounds overwriting?
Thats fair, I am actually in a top 1% speed running guild and not being able to play my warrior at a competitive level is disheartening to say the least. Meanwhile we see buffs to rets, druids, and soon mages upsets me. Sure, deep wounds munching is going to be fixed, maybe. We’re talking like a 1% uptick in dmg, if that. Very minuscule considering how often does this munching occur? Either way the state of warriors is in serious doubt and id be surprised to see any competitive speed running guild run more than maybe 1-3 warriors WITH shadowmourne. Mages, rets, rogues, and druids are going to out scale
